The World According to Waters

About

    Say, thanks for your comment a few days ago. So sorry that I haven’t gotten to it yet.

    I will have to go read the annals myself and then blog it.

    Bless your for taking time to correct me, and for supplying the link(s). I’m not going to change anything until I’m sure that what you’re saying is indeed fact.

    I swear to you that I remember being taught in junior high (and this was back in the day–in the ’70s) that Texas was the ONLY state in the union that could secede at ANY time. I’m not the only kid that learned that in public school. There are MANY others.

    So, I’ll have to check out your claims. There’s just not enough hours in the day man! :)

    I had actually planned to get to this today, but have been too busy until now, and now my brain needs a rest. It’s almost 1:30 am. :)

    Instead I’ll try to get to it tomorrow and settle this issue. :)

    Thanks again Sir,
    Sherry

    You’re welcome! ;)

    It’s amazing the things we get taught in public schools. A surprising number of teachers actually bought into the hype about the year 2000 marking the new millennium- despite the fact that there was no year zero!

    Thanks for you comments on my blog in regards to Lutherans, it was helpful to get someone closer in the mix to confirm what I thought as well as give me a little more direction.
